Default This is my standard line, is it standard for all of us ?

Absent of a read, this hand is the typical line I will take with a flopped flush draw from the BB, when 'scare' cards are absent.

Full Tilt 2/4 Hold'em (6 handed) Full Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
[color=#666666]2 folds</font>, <font color="red">CO raises</font>, <font color="red">2 folds</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) , , <font color="red">(2 players)</font>
<font color="red">Hero bets</font>, CO calls.

Turn: (3.25 BB) <font color="red">(2 players)</font>
<font color="red">Hero bets</font>, <font color="red">CO raises</font>, Hero calls.

River: (7.25 BB) <font color="red">(2 players)</font>
<font color="red">Hero bets</font>, CO calls.

Final Pot: 9.25 BB

I like that idea.
I figured the turn follow through pushes out medium aces and most if not all kings.
I felt checking the turn makes it impossible for us to win the pot with the worst hand.

Except vs. someone like me who will call you again on the turn to make you fire on the river if you want it (which you probably won't.)

I'm calling all aces and Kings on turn if I was villain if I got c/r on that flop. I think you overestimate the power of a flop c/r on a 2-flush board. I have no standard lines, I play according to the opposition. Against an unknown I c/c flop and turn and c/f river UI. Donk river if I hit. Not very funny but with no read I see no point in making moves when you don't know what villains responses means.

Even if villain has something like Ax and his planning to calldown, you have small equity edge on the flop so check-raise isnt bad then. And most villians will fold K-high on the turn. So Im still check-raising here.

This is a pretty decent C/R spot. However, you have to be wary of opponents who will "rebluff" the turn (I say rebluff, because their Ax/Kx is the best hand, but they don't know it.)

since you donked the flop here
this is a nice spot on the turn to c/r
you may get him to laydown a better hand
and if it gets checked thru thats great too
you get to then see the river for free

C/r the flop is standard for me aswell. I donk 0% of my hands here. I also c/r the river. I also dont think the river is getting checked through much, so I c/r.

Just make sure you balance your play.

If you donk draws you also need to donk sets and TP and 2 pair.


In general tho I think you should c/r. Your fold eq when c/r is better overall as a c/r signals more strength and you also win bigger pots when he folds.
